Book Description
Sheriff Robert Gallegos, tall, handsome, quiet, friendly, Native American/Hispanic, an ex-WWII Marine is determined that the encroaching Juarez, Mexico drug cartel that will stop at nothing to take over his south eastern New Mexico, Aragon Valley - will not, on his watch, succeed. But as intimidation, rape and murder stalk the rural community, the reality of the threat, this summer of 1965, grows ominously closer. A man's man, with friends dating back to childhood and enemies current, romantic when the time is right, the Sheriff's real companion is Old Lady Sara Tree-Root Tampoya, the part-Hopi Medicine Woman who communicates with Grey Lady Between the Mountains, bringer of passages of life and of death, as he struggles to stay centered in the present and decipher the past, to understand who he really is. The wild red-dust wind gallops day and night through the streets of this fictional Aragon Valley county and town, situated near the Rio Grande, somewhere between Las Cruces and the borders of El Paso, Texas and Ciudad de Juarez, Mexico. Santa Feans, Easterners, Denver and West Coast hippies, foreigners and lovers are welcomed, Juarez drug cartel goons are not, and all soon learn to ask no personal questions.
